Uber To Make Drivers In China Take Selfies To Prove Identity: Although the TNC has practices in place to conduct checks in all its markets, China is notorious for drivers faking accounts and rides — sometimes, multiple drivers share an account or unregistered drivers borrow their friends' phones and split earnings. To counter fraud like this, the company is launching facial recognition tests for drivers in China.

The $62.5 billion company is upping its safety standards by using live face checks at the time of registration, as well as for periodic spot checks while the driver is online. When prompted, drivers will have to take selfies before continuing to pick up riders.

Great tech company that does not care about someones 16 year old daughter. This is a reason they dont want the drivers classified as employees because the liability of a lawsuit for this type of crime.
Its a shame that the federal judges in california dont see behind the cloud of the reason all uber drivers should be employees/ this would result in accountability of their employees.
